Like an art journal

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 3, 2009, 8:41 PM


:tighthug:

Last night I started reading some of my own comments to my drawings and finding it amusing, kept reading right up to my first drawings. You know, I realised it was like reading a journal on my art work. I could see the progression in my learning, the ups and downs, my own views of my work at the time and how far I’ve come – all self taught. I have to say, I really enjoyed it and had a new appreciation for my own work.

It’s easy to criticise your work and good too, I think. If you can’t see the mistakes you make, you may never move on. But it’s also good to step back from your work from time to time and be pleased with the things that are good. What a great thing all these thoughts and views of your own work, something I may never have done if not for dA.

On a different topic, just wanted to share a shot of mum and me, on one of our outings this week.

New journal

Thought it was time for a new journal, something that works properly in explorer as well as Firefox. So I went looking through the free journals...really like this one!

I did a pen sketch (at work) this week which I hope to upload soon, keep watching!

End of the school year

Journal Entry: Tue Nov 17, 2009, 5:19 AM
Hello my friends!!!!!!!

Have you missed me?? I've certainly missed you guys.
As you may know my hubby and I moved continents just over a year ago and at the beginning of this year I started a graphic design and advertising course. I've been doing it part time (evening classes) and working part time..it's been a pretty full on year.

Now the classes are coming to an end and I'm looking forward to no more homework for a while. But to top it off, just in our last couple of lessons of digital art classes we started doing portraits. WELL, you can imagine I was looking forward to that!!! And how AWESOME has it been...

Dare I say it, I actually (for the moment, will it last?) enjoy it more that traditional drawing and I spent 20 hours on the colour one (I'll upload the black and white one too). Although that sounds a lot, it isn't really and considering it's only my second digital portrait, I know I'll get quicker at it.

Some of you out there will likely be thinking: oh no, another wannabe digital artist...Yeah, perhaps you're right. But I gotta give it a go and see where it takes me...

Now all I need is a wacom board HAHAHA!

Winter in Adelaide

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 1, 2009, 5:48 PM
Hellooooo my lovely dA friends!!!

Well it's only taken me a couple of months to write a new journal, so you can just imagine how much drawing I've been doing.... NONE! Unfortunately setting up a new life goes fairly quickly, finding a new routine not so much :giggle:

Although I've been unemployed for three months now, being home all day doesn't necessarily mean you have loads of time I've discovered :nod:
I always dreamed of being home all day and just being able to design and draw, and now it's here, let me tell you, there's still always 'life' happening. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love it and once I decided to enjoy it and not feel guilty that I was bumming around the house all day, I really love it.

My studies however do take many hours of my days and it has left me with no time for drawing. I'm confident I will get back to it one day, and also get back to regular visits to dA. :dance:

My hubby and I absolutely love our new life in Adelaide. Althought the winter is of course nothing like the European one, without a heater, let me tell you can still freeze your butt off :giggle:

I'm very happy for skype though, I still get to see my Mum and talk to her regularly and don't feel so far away from the ones you miss that way.

For now, check out my Zoo campaign I uploaded and I hope to speak to you soon!!!

Conworth who??

Hey there deviant people!!!
I bet you're all thinking, Conworth who??? It's been so long, you probably don't even remember who I am... hehehe :giggle:

As you probably know, my hubby and I moved across the world three months ago and well let's say, it's been a little hectic.

The major things that have happened? Well, we're still staying with the in-laws :) but we both have jobs and since two days are the proud new owners of a 4,5 bedroom house, with open plan kitchen and living room, nice dining room and drumroll...... a solar heated pool and spa!

Welcome to Australia!!!

But seriously, it is an amazing blessing to be set up like this within three months, with good jobs and such luxury.

We just have to stick it out one more month with the folks while the bank prepares our money :-)

And then it'll be renovation time. Meanwhile I haven't done any drawing for three months, just been too stuffed. But once we move into our new place, I'll have my own room to call a studio :) and I swear, I'm gonna get to it again.

Until then my friends.
